Overall, a solid spacecraft combat experience with perhaps obsolete graphics. The empire choices are similar to old-school RTS games and will give you three factions to choose from, which we find simple and effective. There are little few traces of a grand strategy, it is rather an RTS game that delivers action right away. Although it is an old game, it feels finished. If advanced starship combat is what you find lacking in Stellaris, Sins Of The Solar Empire fills that role perfectly. The main downsides are that the UI may be a bit confusing and the game mechanics aren’t clear from the start, but we are used to that in Stellaris.
There are a lot of core mechanics here that are found in one of the most popular 4X games today. The game’s predefined narrative is engaging, and the variety of unique factions adds replay value. Additionally, Stellaris' most recent expansion, the business-themed MegaCorp, will be discounted for the first time since its release, enjoying a more modest 20% price drop down to £12.39.Starting with an old classic, Alpha Centauri is a game that excels at one thing: atmosphere.
Stellaris' base game will, for instance, cost £8.74 instead of the usual £34.99 until 14th May, and the vast majority of DLC has been discounted by 50%. The free weekend comes to a close at 10pm in the UK/1pm PDT on Sunday, 12th May.Īs part of the free weekend, Paradox is discounting the entire Stellaris catalogue on Steam, so if you're sufficiently taken with the game's compelling rhythms of exploration, resource acquisition, and expansion (with a side order of diplomacy and occasional subjugation), you've the option to do a whole lot more of it for cheap. Those unfamiliar with Stellaris' take on sci-fi strategy, incidentally, might find this brisk introductory video overview mildly illuminating. As of now, interested parties can download the base game from Steam for the temporary sum of nowt and set a course for galactic domination. Stellaris initially launched for PC on 9th May 2016, and so, in the name on timeliness, its free weekend is already underway. Paradox Interactive's celebrated sci-fi 4X strategy game Stellaris will be free to try this weekend on Steam, in honour of the game's third birthday.
